Excavations at 41 LK 67, A Prehistoric Site in the Choke Canyon Reservoir, South Texas

摘要

In 1977-78, excavations were conducted at 41 LK 67 in Live Oak County, south Texas. The site is situated in shallow colluvial deposits capping an old terrace remnant of the Frio River. The excavations involved 193 sq m in three separate areas and revealed in situ Late Prehistoric and Late Archaic components. Recognizably older artifacts (including patinated chert flakes) from the surface and from excavations may represent older disturbed components or artifacts collected prehistorically from nearby sites. Radiocarbon dates, with medians ranging from 1590 to 660 B.C. (MASCA correction) are available only from the Lake Archaic component.
